surfing with the boys was fun. just love to push their levels up. and just love to see their smiles after riding amazing waves. it was smiles all day long. and i bet they all slept good last night because i sure did.

Sugimoto-san got 4th place in the finals at the TSSC Users Cup 3 years ago. 2 years ago, he won. and last year, he won again. a double defending champion surfing really good. i’m pretty sure he can win it again and again.

Yu-san has only been surfing for 5 years. yesterday i watched his level go up a lot. looking forward and pushing his back foot. good job Yu-san!

this is perfect surfing. super good for a guy who’s only been surfing for 5 years.

Yoji-san has a body shaped like a bodybuilder. super strong and muscular. this kid is surfing 5x better than 2 years ago. i was super impressed on his motivation and drive.

i watched Yoji-san do 8 backside off the lips on one wave! it was amazing!

and Sugimoto-san the TSSC Masters Champion. super solid surfer with great style and determination. riding his 5’8 Mike Woo driving off the bottom turn.

three time champion? i will cheering for you Sugimoto-san!
great waves and great weather continue. surf your dreams!

OMG! Look at the whale!
Good morning 6am.
South swell down.
Waist high at Ala Moana. Super clean conditions.
Diamond Head chest high and bumpy.
Trade winds at 15mph.
Super sunny and warm.
Surfing all day.
See you in the water!

omg, our blue summer continues. i don’t think the weather can get any better than this! so blue, so warm, and so good!

had so much fun today with these 3 surfer dudes. Sugimoto-san, Yoji-san, and Yu-san. all great surfers with only one thing on their mind “SURFING!”

i still can’t believe how perfect the weather has been. i’ve only been back for 2 days but am already super sunburnt! surfed 4 hours yesterday, 5 hours today, and more and more each day. can’t wait for the shade from the coconut trees and clouds.

yeah, the waves were good morning and afternoon. perfect chest high, straight off shore winds, and very uncrowded. no locals around because everybody is too tired to surf. not us! score!

thank you Sugimoto-san for the treats!

thank you Yu-san for the more treats!

thank you Yoji-san for more and more.

had a wonderful day with you boys. super stoked you all got good waves and good rides. enjoy the rest of your stay and keep on surfing! shaka!
